kotlinx.rpc | Talking Kotlin

Описание: Sebastian and Alex chat about the kotlinx.rpc project, in a special episode recorded in the Munich JetBrains office. They explore all the different components of the library, how you can use it to define RPC services and clients, integrate with Ktor and existing gRPC definitions, and more. While the library is still experimental, it’s already feature-packed, and it has ambitious plans for the future!
